Important ABK News: Goodbye, from Annie

Posted by: Annie

Over two years ago when Maggie asked me if I wanted to start a cooking
blog with her, I knew very little of the food blogging world. At that
point I was only a reader of a handful of food blogs, but was ecstatic
to collaborate with my sister and create one of our own. Sharing a food
blog with Maggie has been a terrific experience. I have
tried cooking foods that I never would have attempted if it weren't for
this website pushing me out of my comfort zone. I also have learned
about the benefits of natural light when photographing food, and the
importance of a very, very steady hand when focusing a camera.

I started
working on this blog when I was still in college, and it was with me as
I moved to Philly to work my first teaching job, and back to the Jersey
Shore, as I started my second teaching job. Unfortunately for me, this
is where my blogging journey will end. As I come to the end of my second
year of teaching, I plan to return to the classroom this summer, not as
a teacher but as a student. As of May 21, I will be pursuing my Masters
Degree in History, and while I will not be completely overwhelmed with
teaching and graduate school until September, I have decided to step
away from A Bitchin' Kitchen because I will not be able to give much
attention to the blog.

I have already told Maggie, that in typical
little sister fashion I will make sure to find a way into her posts, and
who knows - maybe will guest blog a recipe or two. Thanks for a great
experience, and stay tuned for continued greatness from Maggie!!!
